1871161381871. Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life 1871 documents the parliamentary investigation of infant welfare paid infant care mortality and state regulation in Victorian Britain. The report documents the emerging system of infant life protection through committee proceedings witness testimony appendices and an index revealing how legislators gathered medical legal and social evidence to define infant neglect as a matter requiring public oversight. Produced one year before the Infant Life Protection Act of 1872 the volume provides primary-source evidence for the study of child welfare law women's labor and caregiving economies public health regulation infant mortality and the legal history of "baby farming" a term used in nineteenth-century debates over paid care for infants. The 1872 legislation has been identified by historians as Britain's first infant life protection legislation making this parliamentary report important to the documentary record behind early state intervention in private infant care.<br /> <br /> Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life. Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life together with the Proceedings of the Committee Minutes of Evidence Appendix and Index. London: Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed 20 July 1871. First edition. 328 pp. Rebound in modern cloth. The report includes the committee's formal proceedings minutes of evidence appendix and index giving the volume a structured evidentiary record rather than a general policy summary. Its contents outline testimony and documentary material on infant care outside the immediate family social conditions affecting infant survival legal deficiencies and the need for enforceable protections. As a government publication it shows the mechanisms of parliamentary fact-finding in practice: evidence was collected organized indexed and converted into a legislative record that helped frame infant protection as a matter of law public health and social administration.<br /> <br /> The report belongs to the broader nineteenth-century movement toward state scrutiny of child welfare women's caregiving labor and domestic arrangements previously treated as private matters. Its timing matters because it precedes the 1872 Act and captures the evidentiary process by which infant mortality and paid infant nursing entered the legislative sphere. First few pages including title page with small loss at right page edge not affecting legibility; handwritten page numbers in upper right corners throughout; pages bright and clean; overall good. A substantial parliamentary source for research into Victorian child welfare infant mortality gendered labor public health law and the development of modern protective regulation. unknown

190445063London: For His Majesty's Stationery Office By The King's Printer. 1904. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Law and Legal History Science and History of Science Most Recent Listing; Quarto; v 172 pages; Title continues: "With An Index And Tables Showing The Effects Of The Years' Legislation On The Public General Acts; Also The Titles Of The Local And Private Acts Arranged Consequentially And In Classes. " From printer's slug at bottom of the final leaf: "Printed by Eyre and Spottiswoode / for T. Digby Pigott C. B. the King's Printer for Acts of Parliament. " Bound at the time of publication in tan half calf over marbled boards leather titling labels in red and black on the spine a large red morocco label lettered in gilt is mounted to the front cover: "COUNTY OF FLINT / THE LORD LIEUTENANT. " Hugh Robert Hughes 1827-1911 held that office from 1874-1911. The front and rear free endpapers have a "wave" pattern of light stains caused by reaction to the glue used in binding. This does not affect the text leaves at all; they are clean and unmarked throughout. The Acts passed in 1904 included the first Wireless Act -- which asserted and assumed full control over wireless telegraphy in Great Britain under the Post Office. "1 A person shall not establish any wireless telegraph station or install or work any apparatus for wireless telegraphy in any place or on board any British ship except under and in accordance with a licence granted in that behalf by the Postmaster-General. 2 Every such licence shall be in such form and for such period as the Postmaster-General may determine and shall contain the terms conditions and restrictions on and subject to which the licence is granted and any such licence may include two or more stations places or ships. Further text includes penalties and various conditions. "but no proceedings shall be taken against any person under this Act except by order of the Postmaster-General the Admiralty the Army Council or the Board of Trade. " The British Post Office had a significant formative relationship with experiments in wireless from the very earliest stages. And it is interesting that this well-preserved copy of the 1904 Acts has a Welsh connection because the early history of wireless experiments in Britain certainly is thoroughly gounded in Wales as well. Sir William Henry Preece KCB FRS 1834 1913 born in Caernarfon Wales became Engineer-in-Chief of the British General Post Office in 1892. Before that date Preece had been conducting experients in transmitting telegraphic signals over short distances and even over a mile of calm water in the Lake District . Early after Guglielmo Marconi moved to England in 1896 Preece became convinced of the talents possessed by the young Italian inventor and the potential of his apparatus -- over which Preece devoted significant time and energy in demonstrations for the Parliament. Marconi managed to make signal transmissions over 6 kilometers at Salisbury Plain and determined that his next step would be to attempt transmission over open sea. Sir William Preece suggested Wales as a location and directed George Kemp a Cardiff-based Post Office engineer to assist Marconi. Kemp suggested the South Wales coast. Marconi set up his apparatus on the cliff at Lavernock Point along the coast overlooking the Bristol Channel. George Kemp and his nephew Herbert were positioned three miles distant across the channel on Flat Holm Island. Each station had a 30 meter pole erected. After two days of failure Marconi moved his apparatus down towards the water; the longer connection effectively added length to the antenna; full success was immediate -- on the 13th of May 1897. Marconi sent an initial message in Morse code reading: "CAN YOU HEAR ME". Shortly after Marconi received this reply from Kemp: "YES LOUD AND CLEAR". The recording slip for the first message is now kept at the National Museum of Wales. By 1904 when this ground-breaking British law first assigned control over wireless to the Post Office Sir William Preece had retired and George Kemp had resigned from the GP .

22600Headed 10 Downing Street Whitehall 6 March 1891. Three pages cr. 8vo bifolium fold marks good condition. "I have read your letter with reference to Mr Justice Stephen with care and I observe that while you throw the whole responsibility on the Government for the continuance of a condition which you describe as 'notorious' and creating 'a general dissatisfaction' you do not advance a single specific allegation as to a failure of justice on which it would be possible to take action. The only course of action open to the Government in the case of a judge whose conduct merits removal is by address to the Crown in both Houses of Parliament. The constitution has very properly made the judges absolutely independent of the Government of the day which so far as they are concerned possesses no Paternal or Disciplinary authority and any Member of Parliament is equally entitled to move an Address with any member of the Government. But this power which you possess in common with ourselves should obviously be exercised with abundant specific proof of the necessity in the public interest of that course. I am not in possession of evidence of that character on which I could feel it my duty to proceed." At this time Smith was First Lord of the Treasury and Leader of the House.
